The Infernal Instruments

Chapter 29

**Hey guys!! I'm sorry for not posting in a while but I had school work and stuff to do and last week I was in Tasmania on school camp so I had no time to write. Also next week I'm going to Fiji for my cousins wedding (YAY!!!!! Maybe I'll get some ideas? ;)) so I wont be able to post up there but I'll still write and post when I get back! So I'll try to post as much as I can by then (I'm hoping 3-4 chapters, no promises though) And once again, thank you so much for reading and all the positive feedback, love you guys!!!!!!!!!**

Will can not stop laughing. It's really beginning to annoy me. Jace keeps glaring at him, which just makes Will laugh harder. "Will!" Isabelle shouts. "Will you please shut up!" That earned Will a smirk from Jace. Will opened his mouth to retort when Jem cut in. "Will the two of you just stop it! Honestly your both acting like children! You are family for the angels sake! So start acting like it!" Will and Jace were still glaring at each other when suddenly there was a scream from up ahead, where Clary and Simon were walking. Jace's face paled and he raced off down the tunnel, the rest of us following close behind.

Simon and I were walking ahead of the group. Simon was clearly uncomfortable and was looking at the floor and the walls - anything but me. I sigh. "Simon seriously, get over it. We were just making out." Simon coughed at that. "Well yeah, but, what if we didn't show up?" I rolled my eyes. "Simon, trust me I'm not about to loose my virginity in a mountain." Simon blushed a little. "I never said you would." I nodded. "Uh huh, I'm more of a cave kind of girl." Simon choked. "A what?!" I smiled. "Yeah, or maybe a beach? That would be nice." **See what I did there ;)** Simon looked away. "Yeah um, new conversation topic please." I laughed. Simon turned around. "How far ahead do you think we are? Should we wait up?" And put up with more of Will's laughing? No thank you! I'm about to respond when I hear something, like a faint scratching. "Did you hear that?" I whisper. "Hear what?" Simon whispered back. I hear the scratching again and I signal to Simon to be quiet. I hold up my witchlight, I can't see anything. "Clary." Simon whispered. "Maybe we should go back." I'm about to respond when I feel something grab my ankle, I look down to see a hand of a skeleton locked around my ankle. I scream.

"Clary!" Jace shouts down the tunnel. There was no reply. "Come on!" Isabelle said. "They can't be that far ahead." We were still running when I saw it. A witchlight, on the ground. "Guys stop!" I shout, everyone turns to me. "What?!" Jace snapped, clearly agitated. I picked up the witchlight and held it out for the others to see. Isabelle takes a sharp intake of breath. "That's Clary's." No one said a word. Alec called out to them. "Uh guys." We all turn to face him. "Is that blood?" He said, gesturing to the wall of the tunnel, which had a smeared bloody handprint on it. "What the hell happened here?" Magnus asked. "And more importantly, where are Clary and Simon?"
